Louis Van Gaal blasts rumours of rift with Ryan Giggs

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has insisted there is no rift with his assistant manager Ryan Giggs and reacted angrily when questioned about their working relationship.

Giggs’ lack of reaction to United’s winner at Newcastle was captured on television — while by contrast van Gaal shouted and gesticulated in celebration.

Asked about their relationship, Van Gaal answered sarcastically before saying he was irritated by the questions.
